WIFE sponsoring Parents VISA, Need guidance

[parag.makhija]

Hi,

My Parents VISA applied last year in March, 2012 from my sponsorship got rejected with letter 214(b).

I got married in Oct 2012, and wish to reapply my parents VISA using my WIFE sponsorship.

Me and my Wife both are working on L1B Visa.

As i do not have valid VISA now, but i am on I94, due to which i wish to reapply my Parents VISA using my WIFE sponsorship (having valid VISA till July 2013).

Please provide your thoughts if this if the right approach for reapplying Parents VISA ?

Also let me know if any other details are needed for same.

Thank you..

What has changed in THEIR lives - not yours?

You having a valid visa is not an issue as long as you have a valid I-94.

So called sponsosrhip ( funding) is a secondary issue.

Please post the last interview in Q and A form whatever they can recall.

i wouldnt advice on sponsoring anyone...and let them handle their own visa process...that will make it easier...give murthy law firm in chennai a call incase your parents need more assistance.

Best way to get a visiting visa is self sponsoring. If your parents can't sponsor for the trip then what's the guarantee that they will go back to their country.

Thank you for your reply,

1. My younger brother (single) is working in INDIA,

2. They have good property value and business in india, their purpose of visit is just to meet us for a month or two.

3. My Grandmother is old and stays in INDIA at my home town and she also needs to be taken care of.

4. Other than me and my wife, We do not have any more relatives in USA as of now.

Do the above mentioned points are good enough for as guranntee for them to return to INDIA.

will that be good enought to justify

There is not much change in their lives as such. Only thing that happened post their visa rejection was my trip to india to met my parents after 2.7 years and i got married the same time.

They are going to US for a visit , that's a pleasure trip. Applying visiting visa just to meet you will not grant a visa. If this is the case then, you can go and visit them.

[jairichi]

I think the answer "6 months" would have been the reason for rejection. As rahul412 pointed out the intention conveyed to visa officer should have been a pleasure trip for a month or two to visit places in US and along with that to visit you and not that they would be staying with you for 6 months

[Guest Noah Lotte]

People who claim to own/run a business (a legitimate business, that is) cannot wander off from that business for six months...now, having one or both of them reapply, now claiming they will stay only one month will have a hard time explaining this sudden 'change of plan.'

[t75]

A working person cannot take off for 6 months.
